Acid detergent dispersible lignin in tropical grasses

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1994
AbstractThe detergent system of analysis partitions lignin into two fractions: acid detergent lignin (ADL), usually equated with forage lignin, and ‘acid detergent dispersible lignin’ (ADDL), the existence of which has scarcely been recognized, but can be higher than ADL in tropical grasses.

Evidence for Photorespiration in Tropical Grasses

Physiologia Plantarum, 1970
AbstractSugarcane leaves respired in full light and the CO2 evolved could be detected in sorghum or miaze photosynthesizing in the same closed system. A combination of radiometric and infra‐red gas analysis techniques allowed the estimation of photorespiration (total CO2 evolution in light) and photosynthesis at increasing light intensities and of dark

The nutritional value of some tropical grasses

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1965
1. Twenty feeding and digestibility trials were carried out on seven tropical grasses to determine their nutritional value at different stages of growth, and to study their suitability as possible pasture grasses.2. Content of crude protein was relatively high at immature growth stages of the forages, and declined rapidly with the onset of flowering.3.

Ionic relations in tropical pasture grasses

Journal of Plant Nutrition, 1981
Abstract Ionic relations in the tops of nine tropical pasture grasses were studied by using K‐Na and K‐Mg nutrient replacement series in sand culture. Rhodes grass, green panic, and pangola grass accumulated Na when K supply was low and Na was available.

Environmental control of flowering in tropical ‐ subtropical grasses

Proceedings of the Annual Congresses of the Grassland Society of Southern Africa, 1969
Tropical-subtropical grasses have shown a wide range of response to photoperiod. Some of the response patterns which they exhibit are extremely complex and often seem unrelated to the conditions to which the plants are adapted. However, there is an increasing realisation of the possible role of factors of the environment other than photoperiod in ...

APSIM-Tropical Pasture: A model for simulating perennial tropical grass growth and its parameterisation for palisade grass (Brachiaria brizantha)

Agricultural Systems, 2020
Abstract Tropical grasses are used as forage, to produce energy from biomass, for land restoration and carbon sequestration, among other applications. Many modelling approaches have been employed to simulate tropical grasses growth, but these have several limitations that must be solved by adapting them or creating new models.

Xylans from the tropical grass Panicum maximum

Phytochemistry, 1974
Abstract Two xylans have been isolated from the mature tissues of the tropical grass Panicum maximum —an arabino(4- O -methylglucurono)xylan and an acidic galactoarabinoxylan. Both consist of a main chain of β(1 → 4) linked d -xylopyranosyl residues.

Ensilage of tropical grasses mixed with legumes and molasses

World Journal of Microbiology & Biotechnology, 1994
The effects of adding two legumes, Gliricidia sepium and Leucaena leucocephala, cv. Cunningham, and molasses on the fermentation characteristics of silages made from two tropical grasses (Pangola grass, Digitaria decumbens, and Setaria sphacelata cv. Kazungula) were investigated.

Tropical grass/legume pastures in Northern Rhodesia

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1962
Three grass/legume pastures were evaluated under Northern Rhodesian conditions.A plot trial measured the herbage yields of Stylosanthes gracilis, velvet beans (Stizolobium deeringianum) and giant Rhodes grass (Chloris gayana) grown as pure stands, and in a mixed association with Rhodes grass.
